Former ‘The Real Housewives of Orange County’ star Vicki Gunvalson is making a comeback to the show, but this time as a guest. She is set to confront her former friend Tamra Judge over the fallout of the ‘Tres Amigas’ group. The reunion attempts have already led to an explosive confrontation, according to sources close to the production.

The Reunion

Vicki Gunvalson, known as an OG on ‘RHOC,’ was brought back by the network to film a takedown between her and Tamra Judge. The confrontation was initiated by fellow cast member Shannon Beador during a big group outing, where all cast members were present. The producers were hoping for the women to resolve their issues, but instead, the night turned into an explosive fight between the trio. By the end of the evening, their friendship was left more broken than ever before.

The Fractured Friendship

The gathering came after Vicki filmed a lunch earlier in the week with Shannon and Heather Dubrow, where Tamra was the hot topic. The fractured friendship among Tamra, Vicki, and Shannon is shocking, given how tight they were before Tamra dropped out of “Tres Amigas,” a live comedy project featuring all three women.

Reasons Behind the Fallout

Tamra blamed her exit from “Tres Amigas” on scheduling conflicts and a desire not to enable Shannon following her DUI arrest. She also expressed frustrations with Vicki and Shannon, accusing them of talking badly about her behind her back. Vicki, on the other hand, claimed that Tamra blindsided her and Shannon, who have since announced their own comedy tour. The tensions seem to be running high, and it’s all set to play out when season 18 of the show premieres later this year.
